Default Using mixed fuel in autos.

I have about 30 gallons of fuel I mixed for my outboard that I no
longer have and I was wondering if it is safe to use it in my car,
I mixed it two years ago and added the required amount of Stabil at
the same time.

Thanks


Not a problem whatsoever. I have done this for well over 20 years each
spring with boat gas mixed 50:1 and no Stabil. I dump whatever is left
in the old tanks into whatever car is nearby - usually a Ford. Biggest
side effect I have noticed is that the body starts rusting pretty good
when we approach 210K-220K-230K miles and the car gets to be 12-15 years
old here in upstate NY.

Is it safe? Well, getting gas out of outboard tanks always seems to be
a challenge, so use a big poly can on the ground with a BIG funnel to
catch the splashing as best you can. Trying to skip this step and going
right into the car makes a mess every time.
